    Tighten or loosen hard-to-reach fasteners with the extra-long bits in these socket sets. The sockets come in common drive sizes, and all have a ball end for angled entry when you don't have exact alignment between the bit and fastener. Organize and store them with the included clip rail or case. They’re for use with hand-drive tools only.

    Ball-Tip Screwdrivers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Screwdrivers. Ball-Tip Screwdrivers.
    Turn screws even when you can't access them head on. These screwdrivers are handy in corners and underneath machinery because their ball tip can engage fasteners at an angle. While they're great for most fastening jobs, the tip makes less contact with fastener recesses than standard, straight tips and may snap off under extremely high torque.
    The handle on these drivers has a rubberized, cushioned grip over a hard plastic core for comfort and control.
    Standard Length—The most common screwdriver length for a specific drive size.
    Premium—The best screwdrivers available, with tips machined to tight tolerances for the tightest possible fit in fastener recesses. The snug fit means they'll turn screws quickly without wearing screw heads and the driver's tip.
